User questions & answers

Question:	Does a safety flag come with it
Answer:	I have twice. I satisfied the wish of a female friend I knew because she wanted to take a spin on it around the parking lot; I did better and went around the block. She was only about 93-101 pounds dripping wet, but it handled like it always had, her being live cargo did not affect anything, the wheels did not bend, nor did the axle. The other time was my brother who clearly weighs close to me at around 175 lb. Again no damage to the trailer, though I could tell there was weight but still not much more than when I loaded it down with dead weight.
Question:	Does this come with the orange safety flag, also does the plastic sides roll down so you won't overheat your child
Answer:	No. I'm even thinking of modifying my e-bike throttle so it will not be possible to exceed 10mph without flipping an over-ride switch when the trailer is attached. I also always wear a helmet and leather gloves, but would absolutely never tow a trailer at any speed without wearing safety gear. IMPORTANT LEGAL INFO: Keep in mind that in the U.S. in SOME states an ebike (or a "scooter") that can exceed 20mph is considered a MOTORCYCLE, which means insurance, a driver's license, and vehicle registration. In addition, if you pull a trailer with such a vehicle the trailer may also require registration...which you MAY be unable to obtain for something like this.
Question:	Can I use this with one kid? I have one son but we plan on having more so I figure I might as well get one that sits two. Would the weight be shifted
Answer:	I took these off the day after I purchased this trailer and never put them back on. Removing them allowed the trailer to fit through my doors and, in my opinion, improved the looks of the trailer greatly. It's been 18 months of use, at least weekly, carrying all sorts of loads and I've had no issues, structural or otherwise. The only problem I've had with this trailer, in fact, is with the axle pins bending but this was caused by overloading and taking corners to fast and nothing to do with the siderails.
Question:	what is weight capacity
Answer:	22" wide x 31" long at the inside bottom and the top of the side rail is 14" high. plenty of room for a big cart full of groceries. 3 years of trouble free use so far. Including Wisconsin winters. I did replace the tires and tubes almost right away.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a newborn sling or something for a 3 month old to ride in this trailer? I would love to take my daughter
Answer:	The Thule chariot cx 1 has an infant sling. Unfortunately, they are very expansive and rare in the US, meaning that getting them at a discount or used does not happen often. It all depends where you ride it, how you ride it and what quality all of the equipment is. Pushing a stroller or jogging with one is not different. So, yes, there is equipment out there that allows you to put an infant in a trailer that is safe but it costs over $1000. If you are into it though that system converts into a stroller, a skiing trailer and so on.
Question:	Is the tire air tires? If yes are they all air tires
Answer:	The two tires on the side of the trailer are are tires, the tire that you install to use as a stroller is plastic and not air filled.
Question:	Do kids need to wear helmets while in the trailer
Answer:	I have this trailer and was riding with a 3 yr old and 15 month old. I had an accident and did a "superman" over the front of my bike, flipping my bike, going about 15 mph. They wore no helmets. The trailer tipped to one side. While both were scared, neither one was hurt. If I were on a busier road, I would helmet them but the trailer makes it hard for the seat to be comfortable because it pushes their head forward where the helmet rests against the back of the seat. Use best judgement- the "cage" is metal and can endure some damage but then again, little brains don't like to be shaken.
Question:	Is this trailer suitable for a 5 month old in a car seat and a toddler on the other side
Answer:	Absolutely NOT! Car seats are designed to be used in a CAR! The bike trailer is not as stable as the back seat of your car and hence the ride for the infant will be much more bumpy. The infant does not have the neck strength to withstand a pothole or big bump. And while you might think you will be careful not to ride over any potholes, etc. the risk is too great! You'll need to be watching traffic, and things like the the trailer's clearance when riding along a street with parked cars or pedestrians on a boardwalk. With that many things to keep in mind you are taking an unnecessary chance with your child's health and well being. And finally, the manufacturer says this trailer is NOT for children under 12 months old, AND in addition to being 12 months old, they need to be able to hold their own head up, and sit up on their own. Please do not take the risk.

Answer:	This will only fit Retrospec trailers
Question:	How do i know if i need this or not, i have a Specialized HardRock
Answer:	If your E bike is a hub drive model and the left side of the rear axle is the same as a standard bike, then it should fit.

Additionally, this coupler is only designed to fit with a Retrospec trailer. It is not designed to fit with other brands of trailers.
